Question

Adobe Acrobat is crashing when I use e-sign on the app

Hello,

I have an Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription and I typically use it through the desktop app on PC. I routinely use the request E-signatures tool to sign contracts with clients and have never had any problems until today. Today when I use the e-signature and begin to type in the recipient’s email address, suddenly the program goes inactive and all I can see/access is a vertical toolbar. It’s very strange. The only solution to even close the program at that point is to restart. I have tried restarts, uninstalling/reinstalling, removing caches, selecting the legacy version of e-sigs (per troubleshooting). Nothing solves the issue. Can anyone help?

    Hello ​@Brian3257539513ac,

    Sorry about the trouble, and thanks for reaching out.
    Please check this discussion:

    , and I see this is a similar issue you are experiencing, given what you have described.


    Let us try the following registry workaround:

    • Launch Registry editor
    • go to this key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureLockDown]
    • Set value : "bDisableNativeWebviews"=dword:00000001

    Let us know how it works
